# A1-WH30: WETH-hook pools, buy at +30 min if cap 250-600k (A1 #598) forward paper test (Test Manager) - 14 Oct 00:10 UTC
Spec: fw/a1-pp586.md. Hunt: entry +30 min, cap 250-600k, target 3M-10M. v4tape forward only. Stop 0.5x, liq drop >=50% sells at the pull swap, 8 h time stop (silent pool = 0), fee + 3% slippage each side. Arms: A trail 35% after 2x, B trail 50% after 2x, C half at 3x then trail 50%, D tp 5x. Depth proxy: pool net WETH >= 1 ETH (A1 used depth_usd_5m>=3000, not in feed).
- WETH-hook pools seen: 149; waiting 117; open 0; skipped {'cap unknown': 1, 'cap outside 250-600k': 11, 'first swap after 40 min': 1}; sign check 4/255317
- arm A: n 11, mean 2.37x, <1x 0, zeros 0, >=3x 4 | late (excluded) n 8, mean 2.24x, <1x 0, zeros 0, >=3x 2
- arm B: n 11, mean 2.49x, <1x 2, zeros 1, >=3x 3 | late (excluded) n 8, mean 2.80x, <1x 0, zeros 0, >=3x 3
- arm C: n 11, mean 2.41x, <1x 1, zeros 0, >=3x 3 | late (excluded) n 8, mean 2.69x, <1x 0, zeros 0, >=3x 3
- arm D: n 11, mean 4.25x, <1x 1, zeros 1, >=3x 10 | late (excluded) n 8, mean 3.51x, <1x 2, zeros 2, >=3x 6
- Kill: mean < 1.2 after 30 trades. Sim (upper bound, peak/entry): median 7.0x, 71/81 >= 3x; expect real capture 35-50%. Sellability unproven. Paper only.
